Project FAQ
Absolutely not. Action Fiction doesn't use AI for text or image generation - our dumb jokes are powered by our dumb brains, thank you very much. Also stop saying anything with an em dash is AI, man. I have been holding ALT and pressing 0151 on my numpad for like seven years, I didn't perfect this muscle memory just to have AI ruin it for me, lmao
It's better-er, of course! Alright, fine, we can be more specific. There's truly so much we've added, it's tough to cover it all. The Economancy school of magic is brand new, along with about 40 other new spells. There's about 30 new monsters, there's a new Debate mechanic, there's a TON of new weapons and magic items. Plus, we've updated and rebalanced and in a lot of cases completely redesigned a lot of our content. Look, I'm gonna level with you: Murka was our first game, and while I'm incredibly proud of it, there were a lot of things we had to leave on the cutting room floor, and we've also grown a lot as game designers. Ratified & Radified isn't just us giving our old work a fresh coat of paint; it's us ripping out the bones of this house and, like the good doctor Frankenstein and his monster whose name I can't remember, using them to build a home. I think. I'll be honest, that metaphor sort of fell apart. Really, we think that Ratified & Radified is the “ultimate” version of Murka, and after this campaign, we won’t be printing First Edition Murka anymore. This is the pinnacle of Murka, and all future Murka content will use this trilogy as its basis.
We're anticipating sending the books to print about two months after the campaign closes. The great thing about this campaign is that a lot of the books are already done, as we've been editing them for MONTHS (just check our Discord and see!). Once we've reached the campaign's end, it'll be time to typeset and layout all our changes, then ship it off to the printer!
Both! With the Compatibility Kit, you'll have everything you need to run Monsters of Murka in either edition.
Yeah, show your GM this FAQ and tell them Action Fiction says you can have advantage this ONE TIME. But next time, you gotta bring snacks.
BackerKit FAQ
BackerKit Crowdfunding is an all-or-nothing collaborative funding platform. Creators share their project ideas and set a funding goal with a deadline. Backers pledge money to help make the project possible.
If the project meets its goal by the deadline, pledges are charged and the creator moves forward. If it doesn’t, no one is charged.
Backers often receive special rewards for their support, such as:
- Exclusive products
- Bonus rewards for backing related projects
- Discount pricing
- Behind-the-scenes updates
- Creative input opportunities
Pledging in crowdfunding is a commitment to support the creation of a new product or project. Unlike a traditional purchase, you're not buying an item that already exists. Instead, your contribution helps bring a creative idea to life, and in return, you typically receive rewards (such as the product itself) as a thank you for your early support.
- Select a pledge level with the reward(s) you would like to receive
- Select any add-ons
- Confirm your pledge!
- You are charged only if the campaign meets its funding goal.
- Charges happen when the campaign ends, not when you pledge.
The creator will send you a survey to:
- Ask you for more information about your rewards (selecting options, etc)
- Collect shipping information
- Offer additional items you may want to add to your pledge
- Collect shipping fees (if applicable)
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge. Additional payments are charged when you complete the survey.
Only the project creator and the BackerKit Support Team can see your pledge and contact information. Other backers and the public cannot see your individual pledge amount or personal details.
You can change or adjust your pledge level and add-ons before the campaign ends. After the project concludes, cancellations or changes are at the creator's discretion and may depend on what stage the project is in.
Overtime Mode extends your campaign past its original end time to give backers a final chance to make their pledge. It will add an additional 10 minutes past the end time as long as pledges keep coming in. The campaign will end when there is a 10-minute period without any new pledges.
